Having a fat burning foods list isn't good enough. You also need to know how and when to eat those foods.

If you're looking for a fat burning foods list then we've got tons. Four top 10 lists of fat burning foods from Tom Venuto of Burn The Fat and one detailed lean body foods list from Mike Geary of Truth About Abs. But what do you do with these food lists once you print them?

This is where people run into major problems. Not knowing how much of these foods to eat, when to eat them, what food combos build lean muscle and speed metabolism, when to cut back on what for increased fatloss, and all that complicated stuff only fatloss experts really know.

Below is my very own fat burning foods list combined into low carb day meals and high carb day meals. Why I eat these foods and when plus videos with tips from two eating plans that I use for great fatloss results.

Fat Burning Foods List Combined Into High Carb Day Meals

A high carb day, boosts your metabolism, helps your body build lean muscle, and keeps you from feeling deprived all the time so you are more likely to stick to healthy fat burning foods and meals that help you lose fat.

You need to find a balance of both high carb and low carb days that works for your specific needs. Notice that on high carb days the fat is very low.

Anti Estrogenic Diet author Ori Hofmekler provides the fat burning foods list that burns the belly fat and shows you how to make it work for your body. Here's how I make it work for my body.

Meal 1: Apple yogurt berries and cereal, I'm too busy for complicated meals early in the morning so I eat just enough to get my metabolism going, mixing 2 tbsp organic vanilla yogurt 1 tbsp kashi cereal and fruit keeps it simple.

Meal 2: Veggie and egg scramble with organic black beans and salsa, 1 cup frozen broccoli and cauliflower sauteed in olive oil until soft with two fertile eggs scrambled in and 1/4 to 1/2 cup organic black beans and all natural salsa (no additives of any kind). It takes 5 minutes to make this and it's very filling. I get more active around noon so this is when I eat a bit more.

Meal 3: Post workout shake 4 oz. organics vanilla yogurt, 4 oz. rice milk, 1 scoop whey protein powder, 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, fresh not frozen), 5 ice cubes. Blend then whip to thicken. I do my strength workouts around 3:30 pm so I drink this around 4:30 pm then I go train clients for 1-2 hours. When I get home I'm starving so I eat a lot (as you can see below).

Meal 4: Quinoa or wild rice salad 1 cup quinoa or wild rice, 1 tbsp kefir yogurt mixed in when hot, 1-2 cups stir fried veggies including spinach, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, snow peas, string beans, celery, plus 4 oz. fish or chicken grilled for 2-3 minutes then tossed in with the veggies and 1/4 cup of liquid to steam everything (water plus white wine, chicken broth, salsa, lime juice, organic crushed tomatoes, or balsamic vinegar are great ways to steam and add flavor without adding many calories). Some experts tell you not to eat this much at night but Ori says you need to do this to sleep better and to feel more satisfied. If you don't feel tired and deprived all the time you are able to make better choices throughout the day.

Print your fat burning foods list then see how you can combine those foods into meals just like I did. Remember these are only examples. You have to eat the foods that are healthy but that also appeal to you.

Ori's killer fat burning foods list tells you exactly what foods detoxify, what foods energize your body, what foods help you sleep better, and so much more.

If you 've tried everything to burn off stubborn fat and it's not working then chance are sress, hormonal imbalances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, are a big reason you can't get results and this diet will work for you!

Fat Burning Foods Typical Low Carb Day

A low carb day forces your body to use fat vs. carbs for fuel. It makes your body tap into your fat stores and is also a great way to detox but you can't just wing it. If you low carb too much then your body goes into fat storing mode (the opposite of what you want). If you don't low carb enough then you never really tap into those fat stores. You need to find a fatloss plan that works for your body then follow that system in order for this to work.

Some plans start you off with an entire week of this type of eating (i.e. Crack the Fatloss Code) while other plans introduce this the second week (Anit-Estrogenic Diet). Either way you need low carb days to teach your body to start burning off fat stores. One big bonus of eating this way is your body gets used to non-processed foods quickly. If you go back to processed foods you can actually taste all the nasty additives and chemicals that make you fat (both Anti-Estrogenic and Carb Rotation plans cover this in their books).

Meal 1: orange or apple and almonds keep it simple and eat more when your body is ready for fuel. My body is never ready for fuel before a 6am bootcamp class so I eat just enough to boost metabolism.

Meal 2: veggie and egg scramble with salsa basically the same as meal 1 from high carb day except I don't eat the organic black beans. This is my favorite thing to eat when I get home at 10 am after a 6am bootcamp 7am school drop off, 8am client, and 9am bootcamp.

Meal 3: seeds or nuts about one handful of almonds, walnuts, pumpkins seeds, sunflower seeds, or cashews. I sit and write mid-day for all my websites so I don't need tons of food to make me sleepy and tired.

Meal 4: raw veggies with cottage cheese or greek yogurt and salsa About 2 cups of raw veggies including celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, cucumbers, broccoli, carrots, radishes, yellow bell peppers (the more colorful the better) plus 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 2 tbsp salsa, and 2 tbsp plain kefir yogurt (higher in protein and virtually no carbs without all the gross artificial sweeteners lowfat yogurt has). Mix it or use the veggies to dip. Either way it's a light but filling meal. I eat this 1-2 hours before easy cardio or yoga then I go train 1-2 clients.

Meal 5: grilled fish or beef with veggies and side salad 2 cups steamed veggies (brussell sprouts, green beans, snap peas, red peppers, mushrooms, etc.) 3 oz grilled salmon or lean steak, plus 1 c greens with splash of lime juice or balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil. A great way to end a less active day is with a lighter meal and lots of water.
